herpes attacks
I am sorry to bring this topic into the discussion as many feel unwilling to talk about it. As very much part of the liberated 1960's generation, those who came of age in the 1960s and had a lot of liberated fun at the time, I found I had contracted genital herpes. Once you have it it cannot be cured

HDR Brachytherapy after the 20 fractions?
Hi all I have recently finished 3 x Lu-177 and 3 x Docetaxel infusions whilst hormone sensitive. I have been on Degarelix since November so no idea what's doing what but but my PSA has fallen from 17.6 to 0.19. STAMPEDE type scans showed I would benefit from radiotherapy to the prostate which I can

PSA down from 6.17 to 4.4 in 16 months
My friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December 2020. He was given the option of being on active surveillance or radio therapy. He chose to be on active surveillance. He changed his diet to a whole food plant based diet. He gave up sugar completely. He started drinking a glass of cruciferous

The importance of radiotherapy dose escalation and long-term ADT for success
Both increase "cure rates" in high risk and intermediate risk patients (at least "unfavorable intermediate risk" patients). https://www.prostatecancer.news/2022/04/the-importance-of-radiotherapy-dose.html

Does My Husband Have Chemo Brain?
My husband finished chemotherapy on the 9th April and for the past two weeks has been very confused. He remembers things such as my name, his kid's names, date of birth, where he lives, etc, but not day-to-day things such as how to make his porridge for breakfast or how to make a cup of tea, what he

I have just finished 20 fractions of radiotherapy and am now struggling with the heartburn like side effects. Was wondering what are the best medicines or alternatives to help alleviate these effects. At the moment i am really struggling to eat and drink. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
New study below [1]. Anyone here using
Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
? FWIW: "A growing body of evidence implicates iron dysmetabolism in prostate cancer progression. A bioactive peptide-rich salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) has previously been demonstrated to modulate iron homeostatic mechanisms.

What genetic / genomic information does a BMB give that bloods don’t?
Hi. I’ve been dipping getting in and out of this friendly and helpful group since I discovered it I have PMF, diagnosed 5 years ago and am having a hard time getting accurate information about my mutation status. The last two BMBs were poor samples - short or crushed cores. Only found out when

Hyaluronic acid treatment for damaged bladder
Hi guys finally getting some answers of what has been going on with my bladder. (Bleeding from it) Had a cystoscopy yesterday, after the usual embarrassing bits, I found it quite fascinating to see inside my bladder on the screen. She never gave me a diagnosis but looking at my past history it is probably

Can a case be made for ADT vacation during a 4week radiation therapy?
I would like your opinions. It seem to me it might make the prostate cells more radiosenitive because they are dividing faster. I think I’d feel better during the Rad rx and would restart after Rad rx finished . On orgovx and zytiga. Bad idea? Don’t know? Go ahead? What do you think?

Suggestions for keeping urine collection bag from slipping down leg
My 78-yo husband has to return to using Foley external catheter & bag, likely permanently, and is asking those with experience for suggestions to keep the leg bag from slipping. His previous experience has been unsuccessful with the slippage so bad that he carries the leg bag around in a bag or bucket

Celecoxib and Meloxicam, cyclooxygena-2 inhibitors, delay recurrence and reduce PSA velocity in patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer
Abstract Introduction: A common treatment for localized prostate cancer (PCa) is radiotherapy; however, effectiveness is hampered because of toxicities and tumor resistance. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors have been identified as potential agents that could improve treatment outcomes and have demonstrated

Facing my dad's dying days
Hi all, I feel like my mind has been spun around and now is facing in a totally new direction. This past week, my 98-year old dad completed his radiation treatment. Things felt very hopeful.
